What happened to the Stuka's undercarriage? Why is Danny Dyer still making films?

Good call re Danny Dyer [;)] and who is the girlie commandette third from the left?
Wondered who the moistened bint was myself. And why she's carrying the Halberd. And why, if it's a firearm, she has the poor arms discipline to be 'sweeping' the right column's heads with the muzzle of her weapon too.

I wonder too much, methinks...[:D]

Moreover, why has she got her right trouser leg rolled down - from the top? And where's her make-up? The woman needs to sort herself out [X(]

Yes it is. Want to have a debate about it? We can probably get CNN to televise it. [:D]
No it isn't. Listen, I came here for an argument. You're just engaged in contradiction. An argument is a series of statements designed to support a case. Contradiction is the automatic gainsay adoption of a position contrary to mine.

You git ([;)])-she's got her trouser leg down, bunching up about her high boot top. There appears to be dried blood or rust streaked in rivulets down her trousers, however. What a mess. I can't believe that unkempt uniform conforms to British cleanliness standards. Ten demerits!

Why should it be only because we are bored that we may vent strong feelings about the Falkland Islands? The war is still very recent, and thus feelings are very raw, to dismiss it in that way.....

We try to keep politics and religion out of THE THREAD!!! as much as possible. It's generally a place on the internet for us to get away from all of that crap. [:D]
Warspite1

Indeed. But there have been exceptions to that rule and, having been brought up, I just felt the subject didn't need to be dismissed in that way.....

Aye, perhaps it should've been left alone but it's potentially something that could directly affect some of us y'know. It's hard not to get a bit riled up sometimes, none of us are perfect are we?

Really? Falklands Islands with some Obama-bashing on top? That's what we're doing? Bored, much?

Not bashing, just saying he signed up to an OAS demand that the UK start negotiations over the Falklands aligning the USA with Cuba and Venezuala. The UN right to self determination must have slipped his mind.

He also declared “We don’t have a stronger friend and stronger ally than Nicolas Sarkozy, and the French people.” Good luck with that.

Its a Ju-847. They didn't have fixed undercarriage.


The one above it must be the actual JU-87 since it does have an undercarriage. [8|]
And the one below too...

Come to think of it, where are the wheel wells on this alleged Ju-847. I certainly can't seem them under the plane's wings. Maybe they're hidden in those oversized swastika emblems? [&:] [:D]

Alleged? I never "allege" though i have been known to mislead enemy agents when i was out in the field. I am afterall, a trained deception specialist and during my time with the Viet Minh I helped set up the ambush and artillery pattern at Dien Bien Phu. On this board I am always factual however, and never lie. You can be assured the Ju-847 was real. In fact I saw it during a brief stint at Area 51. If the Germans had built more of them then England would never have to worry about the Fauklands because they would be German owned and controlled....because in addition to it's bomb load which is highly generous....the plane is also amphibious, and was in fact the basis for Jude Law's "diving P-40" in the movie "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow."

Oh Christ...he said that? [8|]

Personally, I thought returning the Churchhill bust so soon after being in office was an unnecessary affront.

Good call re Danny Dyer [;)] and who is the girlie commandette third from the left?

Presumably the spy... Wikipedia has told me everything I need to know about the film. Deadly German secret weapon could change the course of the war!
Age of Heroes follows the exploits of Corporal Rains (Danny Dyer) as he is inducted into the newly formed 30 Commando unit in World War II. Rains and the rest of the platoon are put through intensive training under the watchful eye of Major Jones (Sean Bean), where their skills and endurance are pushed to the limit as they prepare for their first highly classified and dangerous mission: to parachute into occupied Norway and capture deadly new radar technology from the Germans which could change the outcome of the war.

The newly formed band of brothers are joined in their task by local insurgent Steiner (Aksel Hennie) and beautiful spy Jensen (Izabella Miko). All their lethal commando skills are put to the test as they attempt to rescue Norwegian villagers, escape fierce gun battles and attain the radar technology from Nazi commander Teichman (Eric Madsen). Their plan is thrown into crisis when their pick-up is delayed and they must fight their way to the border of Sweden. With the Nazis desperate to hunt them down and stop them, the commandos realise how important their mission is to the war effort, as the fate of the Allies' advance into Europe rests in their hands. After a long trek in the snow the commandos try to re supply by exploring a farm which unfortunately is shown to be empty. To make things worse the Germans catch up with them at the farm with one of the commandos captured alive during an earlier fire fight. The Germans ask for their surrender in exchange for the life of their captured friend as well as their own. However the commandos refuse to surrender and choose to fight to the end and open fire on the Germans and this begins an intense fire fight. The spy Jensen and the liaison are ordered to rush to Swedish border while the rest of the commandos provide cover for them to escape. Eventually Major Jones realizes that there are too many of them and they do not have enough ammo to hold out much longer. So he orders commandos Rains and Steiner to run for the border while Major Jones along with fellow commando Mackenzie stay to cover them however they are not seen again after been shown continually firing and suppressing the Germans it is presumed that they are overrun and killed or taken captive. The Germans catch up to Rains and Steiner retreating and Steiner is shot and killed. With no ammo, Rains prepares to use his knife to kill himself so the Germans cannot torture the truth out of him. However before he does Jensen and the liaison return and kill enough of the pursuing Germans to allow the three of them to escape. Eventually after eluding the Germans they make it to Sweden having achieved their objective though it cost the lives of fine commandos. The last scene shows the three surviving commandos heading down a hill into Sweden.

To be fair, the war was 29 years ago. I don't remember anyone in 1974 refering to WWII as "very recent". Maybe because we'd had so many in between times.

A radar no less, deployed in Norway. Of course.

Those pesky Allies, we only won the war by cheating and not letting Germany develop their new uber-weapon. Imagine, using actual real world weapons that worked to win the war!

It's where I'd deploy my new secret ground-breaking deadly weapon/radar. Because hiding it in Germany surrounded by the elite of the German army is too obvious. I'm impressed that they managed to make a deadly radar technology (sinister music).
